EXPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.---This Day. In consequence of there not being 40 members pre sent till half-past twelve o'clock, the SPEAKER did not take his seat till that hour. • THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Lancaster Canal Transfer—London and North Western Railway (Additional Powers) —London (City) Tithes — North Staffordshire Railway (New Works)—North Staf fordshire Railway (Silverdale, Madeley, and Drayton)— Sheffield Waterworks (Bradfield Inundation) —South Wales Mineral Railway—Swansea Vale and Neeth and Brecon Junction Railway—Tunstall Railway—Wellington and Drayton Railway—Wilts and Gloucestershire Railway. COURT OF CHANCERY (Ireland) BILL. The house went into committee:on this bill, and clauses from 1 to 11 were agreed to without amendment, On clause 12 Mr. GEORGE objected to the manner in which the bill was being pressed forward. Mr. WHITESIDE complained of the manner in which the bill was being forced throughout parliament, and said he thought it of so great importance that a bill making such extensive alterations should be dealt with in a house so thinly attended (there being no more than 18 or 20 mem bers present.) He was in attendance previous to the Speaker taking the chair, and only left the door to obtain a book in the library, and on his return he found that a house had been made, and in about four minutes nine of the most important clauses had been smuggled through the house. He thought it highly unseemly in a Government, that narrowly escaped censure the other night by a majority of about half a dozen, and who met with a distinct defeat last night, to go on with this measure in such an objectionable manner, and at a day sitting. He again asked, was it at all seemly to press the bill forward under such circumstances. He should like to know if there was a n y mode by which the clauses already passed could be reconsidered. The CHAIRMAN (Mr Massey) said the only course open to the hon. gentleman was to move that he (the Chair man) report progress, and then on that being agreed to, to mo'e that the bill be referred to a select committee. Mr WHITESIDE then having formally made a motion to the first effect, went on to state his objections to many of the provisions of the bill. LEFT SITTING. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway (No 1) — Dublin and Baltinglass J unction Railway—Monkland Railways—Railway Passengers' Assurance Company— Shrewsbury Bridges—Simpson's Asylum—Southam Rail way—Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway (New Lines)—Llanelly Railway and Dock Company (No. 2) (New Line) —Pembroke and Tenby Railway—Rhymney Railway (Cardiff to Caerphilly, &c.)—Rhymney Railway (Eaten sions)—and St. Helens Canal and Railway Bill. NEW WRIT. Oa the motion of Mr BRAND, a writ was ordered to issue for the election of a knight of the shire to serve in Parliament for the northern division of the county of Durham, in the room of the late Lord Adolphus Vane Tem pest. THE COMPANY OF AFRICAN TRADERS subject of prison discipline last year. Amongst those re-1 commendations were these—that the discipline, diet, and labour established in prisons should in future be uniform, and that the separate system should be enforced as far as was practicable. Some misapprehension, he observed, pre• veiled with regard to the fourth clause. It was believed that that clause would give extraordinary powers to the Home Secretary, and , enable him to appoint Roman Catho lic chaplains in gaols against the wish of the county and local magistracy. He denied that the clause would have such an effect; but if it were thought by the house that it would, he should be ready to omit it from the bill. lts real object was to empower the Home Secretary to amend the prison rules at any period of the year, instead of in the ,morph of September only, as at present, Mr ADDER LEY was of opinion that no legislation to amend the present law relating to gaols could be satisfac tory that did not include some definition of hard labour and a schedule of rules for gaols, and which did not provide for all gaols being gradually adapted to the separate system and for a uniform and classified treatment of all prisoners. After the statement of the Horne Secretary, that he had no objection to withdraw the fourth clause, he would not op pose the bill in its present stage. Mr NEWDEGATE moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day three months, on the ground that it violated the principle of local self-govern ment, and failed to provide any adequate security or re sponsibility to guard its application, and render it an in strument effective for good. The honourable gentleman admitted that it was desirable that a measure for the regu lation of gaols should pass, but he contended that the defi nition of the rules should not be left with the Home.office, but should be laid down and enacted by Parliament itself, or the Home Secretary might, on his own responsibi lity, appoint Roman Catholic chaplains in prisons without consulting the justices, who would then be left to incur the odium of levying a tax for the expenditure. Mr BARK° NV seconded the amendment, resting his opposition to the measure mainly upon its centralising ten dency. Sir J. PAKINGTON approved of the bill as a necessary one, and thought the right hon. gentleman had acted rightly in consenting to withdraw the fourth clause. Mr MAGUIRE commented on tine speech of Mr Newde gate, and argued that the Roman Catholic prisoners had as much right to the ministrations of the priests of their reli gion as the Protestant prisoners had to theirs. The debate was continued by Mr WHALLEY and Mr WALTER. _ Mr MITFORD agreed that some legislation was neces• sary, and was therefore prepared to ascent to the second reading of the bill. Mr HIBBERT was gl ad Sir G. Grey had intimated his i n tention to omit the fourth clause. He should be sorry, however, if another clause which gave the unwarrantable power to the Home Secretary of removing prisoners from certain local gaols and placing them in county gaols were retained, Mr S. ESTCOTJRT supported the bill, and, referring to the objectionable fourth clause, said it did not confer any power upon the Home Secretary that he did not already possess. Sir G. GREY, in reply, obs'rved that whilst willing to strike out the clause he did so without admitting that there was the slightest foundation for the apprehension enter taintd by Mr. Newdegate. On a division the numbers were — For the amendment ........ 49 Against it Majority.... • —67 The bill was then read a second time. COLLECTION OF TAXES BILL. On the order for resuming the adjourned debate on the motion for the third reading of the Collection of Taxes Bill, Sir J, TROLLOPE offered various objections to the bill, which, he thought, was utterly uncalled for, and which, he observed, though permissive, was only a prelude to a compulsory measure, and he moved to defer the third reading for three months. The amendment was seconded by Mr PACKE. Mr Cox and Mr S. Booth opposed the bill, which was supported by Mr Ayrton. Mr HORSF ALL, though he had voted for the second reading of this bill, said he should vote against the third reading, on the ground of its excepting the metropolis from its operation. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied to objections, and explained the reasons for excepting the metropolis from the operation of the bill, which did not apply to other large towns, reiterating the arguments he had urged is support of the measure in its earlier stages. Sir S. NOR CHCOTE objected to the bill that, though called permissive, the decision was to be made by the Land Tax Commissioners, who were not elected by the taxpayers, whose opinions were not, therefore, tested upon the ques tion. He thought that the house, representing the tax payers, should not throw the decision upon the Commis sioners. Mr Locke, Mr Lewis, and Mr Newdegate continued the discussion amid much interruption. The house then divided — For the third reading Against it Majority .. The result was received with cheers from the Opposicivu benches. The Railway Construction Facilities Bill passed through committee. RAILWAY TRAVELLIN G (IRELAND) BILL. Sir C. O'LOGHLEN moved the second reading of the Railway Travelling (Ireland) Bill, the objects of which were to deprive Irish railway companies of the power of shutting out whole districts of country from railway com munication on Sundays, and enacting that every railway company in Ireland should be compelled to run one train at least on Sundays each way at such hours a s mi g ht be approved by the Board of Trade ; also to confer ce rtain r ights upon third-class passen ger s. Mr BLAKE opposed the bill on the ground that there was no Sunday traffic in Irela n d to justify the house in p u tting the companies to su c h an ex p ens e. He proposed as a n amendment that the bill be r ea d a second time that day three months. The amendment was seco n d e d b y L or d NAAS, who said that already the smaller railways in Ireland were w orkin g at a loss, and that if this bill passed it would have the effect of increasing that loss. Such l eg i s l a ti on was novel and un fair; no great public good would be accomplished, whilst much evil would be inflicted. Major GJivi:sr and Mr O'REILLY supported the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was a question for the house whether, considering the no, ture of the powers conferred by the act of 1854, it was ad• visable to impose this additional burden upon the com. panies. The bill was opposed by Mr Hassard, Mr Lefroy, and Mr Whiteside ; and upon a divisio n wa s thrown out by 40 to 21, The Pilotage Order Confirmation Bill and the Piers and Harbours Confirmation Bill passed through committee, The Lunacy (Scotland) Bill was read a second time, The Countess of Elgin and liincardine's Annuity Bill was read a second time. Other bills were also advanced a stage, and the house adjourned. The Statistical Abstract, This very convenient annual collection of some of our national statistics has just been issued by the board of Trade. It states cur revenue for the past year at £70,208,964, being £2,037,964 more than the estimate in the Budget ; and our expendi ture at £67,056,286, being £1,226,714 less than the Budget estimate. In the last 16 years, over which these tables extend, there have been nine years with a surplus and seven with a deficiency. In the 15 years 18494863 taxes have been repealed (deducting new taxes imposed) to the amount of £8,173,798. The charge for interest of the debt in 1563--i500,000 a week—was less by £2,000,000 than it was in 1849: for the forces, also £500,000 a week, the charge was £10,500,000 more than in 1849, but the charge for 1863 includes £BOO,OOO Funk in fortifications; the civil charges were £3,8U0,000 more than in 1849. The revenue raised was nearly £13,000,000 more than in 1849. There was £4,200,000 more raised by Customs and Excise duties, £2,300,000 more by stamps, £3,600,000 more by income-tax, £1,600,000 more through the Post-office, £1,000,000 less by assessed taxes, owing to the repeal of the window duty. The item of " stamps" includes the succession duty imposed in 1853; the produce of Customs and Excise increased as just stated, although duties to the amount of £7,000,000 were repealed or reduced. With respect to imports and exports, their value was far greater in 1863 than in any previous year. The merchandise brought into or sent forth from the United Kingdom in 1863 together exceeded the value of £8,500,000 a week. The greater part of this little volume is occupied by accounts of these im ports and exports, their value and quantities, whence the imports came and whither the exports went, comparing the year item by item with its predecessors. Without counting river steamers, 20,877 vessels, employing 184,727 men, were en gaged is our home and foreign trade. 838,724 childrea were born in Great Britain in the year, and death cut down 547,003 persons. Of Ireland in this particular no account can be given. The official estimate is that in the middle of the ye..r 1863 the population uf England was 20,554,137, and of Scotland 3,097,006, not counting army, navy, and merchant seamen abroad at the time. The average Gazette price of British wheat in 1863 was as low as 445. 9d. (LIMITED). Lord ELMO asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether it be the intention of the Government to grant' a Subsidy of £5,000 per annum, or any other su m to the ' Company of African Traders (Limited) ;" if so, upon what conditions the subsidy will be granted, and whether it will previously be submitted to Parliamentary approval. The CHANCELLOR of the EXC HEQUER said that papers had reached the Treasury from which it would ap pear that the company would compete with all those who were engaged in trade with Africa. He was of opinion that a subsidy ought not to be granted without due consideration. He should not, therefore, make any proposal for a subsidy during the present session. SUPPLY. In answer to Mr S. ESTCOURT, Sir G. GREY said supply would not be taken before Friday. THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT EGHAM. - An HON. MEMBER. gave notice that to-morrow he wi ask the President of the Board of Trade a question rela. tive to the accident on the South Western Railway. GA ME LAWS. _ _ _ Colonel SYKES gave notice that on an early day he would call attention to the defective returns on the game laws. THE GLADIATOR. Sir J. t LPHINSTONE asked whether the Gladiator was still under orders to go to Cape Coast Castle. He was of opinion that the ship could not convey 500 with safety Lord C. PAGET said the War-office had made ar rangements by which 700 men would be romoved-500 would go by the West Indies, and 200 to Lagos, and hence to Sierra Leone, The Gladiator would go twice to Cape Coast Castle. TITE coNFEnnzsc , E. Mr. DISRAELI Nv..eu Lo put a question to her Ma jesty's Government on the subject of the Conference. The Prussian Minister had declared that in case the German ports were blockaded the German powers would not be bound by the treaty of Paris with regard to privateering ; he wished to know if on Wednesday the Conference should terminate unsuccessfully hostilities would re-comence on the Nth; also whether, if the Conference closed on Wednes day nest, protocols would be laid on the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the questions were of great importance, and if the hon. gentle. man would put them on the paper be would answer them. Mr. DISRAELI said he did not consider there was any necessity to put the questions on:the paper, He considered he was quite justified in putting the questions without notice. Mr OSBORNE said he saw the inconvenience of pro yoking a discussion, yet, when he remembered how we drifted into the Russian war—when he reflected on the urgency of the occasion and the perilous position of the country, he wished to ask some member of the Government what sigcificanca was to be put upon the words uttered in another place, that her Majesty's fleet was ready for ser vice. He hoped the house would insist on the questions being answered. (Cheers.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was very sorry that inconvenience should arise from the circumstances under which they were placed. No infor mation had been given to him, or as far as he was aware to any member of the Government as to these questions, and he thought it would be greatly for the convenience of the house that questions of such importance should ba placed on the paper. At any rate he had had no communication with the noble lord at the herCl of the Government, and he should have departed from his duty if he answered the questions. Mr. S. FITZGFA,ALD presumed that every member of the Cabinet N as aware of what took plaoe in t he Confe rence last iaturday, an d h e h ope d th e house would insist in havir, g ', the information. N o member of the Government rose, and there was ti pause for some minutes. Mr D. GRIFFITHS rose and was received with a loud shout. He expressed a hope that before long there would be a Government that would respect the feeling of the house `‘n such matters. Lord J. MANNERS said the remarks of Mr Osborne showed that interest in these questions was not confined to one side of the house. If no member of the Government except the noble lord could answer the question, then it was his duty to be in his place. (Cheers.) While the cheering was at its height the noble lord entered the house, and was received with Ministerial cheers. Lord J. MANNERS repeated the question Mr Disraeli had put. Lord PALM:ERSTON said his noble friend (Earl Russell) v"..s asked whether the British fleet was in a posi• tion tor service, and his reply was that it was fit for any serv‘, ce. Mr OSBORNE said he wished to know whether ii in a fit state to go to the Baltic? Lord PALMEB,STON—Yes, to the Baltic, or anywhere else. He said it was prepared to go anywhere, and perform any service. With regard to the question put by the right hon. gentleman opposite, ho had to say that there was an agreement on Saturday last that nothing that had transpired should be made public. Many reports had got out as to what had passed, between the Ministers, yet a breach of confidence of that sort, by whomsoever committed, was a very different thing from a formal statement by a Minister in that house. (Hear, hear.) The suspension of hostilities, he believed, would expire on Sunday, and if no other agreement should be made by that time—if the belligerent parties has not made some arrangements for peace, or with regard to the boun daries, and the suspension of arms was not renewed — hostilities would recommence. Whenever the negotia.ions were over no doubt it would be tho duty of the Government to lay the proceedings of the Conference before Parliament. (Cheers.) Mr BRIGHT said he did not suppose that hon. gentle men opposite were more anxious for peace than her Ma jesty's Government. Ho thought the noble lord would get on much better if he told the house all he knew on the matter, as the country was deeply interested. Ldrd PALMERSTON said he had no doubt that was the case. There was doubtless a great anxiety for con tinued peace, and he was aware, too, that the house must feel a strong desire to know everything possible, but he regretted that he was tongue-tied w i t h regard to details. lie could only say that Government had done everything possible to bring the belligerent parties to a n agreement, and he thought, if they did not succeed, they should be able to show that it was not their fault. (Cheers.) The motion for the adjournment of the house, on whi c h the above discussion arose was then withdrawn, GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed, GAOLS BILL. Sir G. GREY moved the second reading of Gaols Bill, the object of which was to carry out a portion of the recom mendations of the Lords' committee, which reported on the sIiIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

How THE FEDERALS RLCRUIT IN IRELAND, — In the Irish Bankruptcy Court a few days ago some ligh was accidentally thrown on the system of Federal recruit• ing in Ireland. In the case of a bankrupt named Ellis an application was made for the assistance of the Court on behalf of a poor woman named Cer a y ns, whose son had en closed to her a cheque for £4O, which he had received from the American Government for" emigrating" to that coun on his way to t a h r e m b Y a 9 nkrupt to cash, try. Rb uiethomn H loyn e rd i e s .c enisovwehdeaognsaoevl-edhitaehlrfe tichnheGeciuran tt,os amount, the rest being lost in the estate. On the part c,f the bankrupt it was stated that the cheque is not due, and owing to the condition of affairs in America would probably be dishonoured. I b E a T r a O t P . c 0 a L: T j A e terday (Monday) morning work TURRPTHES.—Yes. s men commenced the town and other places.

Progress of Photography, Mr. Swan has just published a process by which he can detach a negative on collodion from the glass plate on which it has been obtained. For this purpose, after finishing and drying the negative in the usual way, he exposes it to a temperature of from 30 to 35 degrees centigrade, lays it down face upwards in a perfectly horizontal position, and then pours the following solution upon it :—Gelatine, 30 grammes; water, 120 do.; glycerine, 2 do. This solution must be of the same temperature as the plate, and a quantity of about 30 grammes is suffi cient for a . common sized plate of 17 centi metres by 21. If it does not spread readily, we may help it a little by met.us of a glass rod, taking care, however, to avoid air.bubbles, This done, the plate must be covered with a glass receiver to protect it from dust; the gelatine will cry in the course of 24 hours, when Sehnoe varnish may be spread over it. When this is dry, an incision is made on the coating all round the border of the plate with a penknife, a corner of the coating is raised up with thepoint of the blade, and by pulling carefully the whole will peel off from the glass, provided the collodion be sufficiently strong, and the gelatine have been previously clarified with albumen and strained through flannel. By this means the impression which was on the glass now lies on a thin sheet of gelatine, which will serve the same purpose as the glass for print-.. ing, by laying the gelatine side on the albumenised paper in the positive printing frame. If many copies are to be pulled, the collodion side ought to be varnished also. This method of trans porting negatives from glass to gelatine will be found extremely useful in all cases in which economy of space is an object; for the gelatine sheets above described may be kept in portfolios, and are not liable to break during a journey. An American pnotographer has also publishes a _c similar nature to that above described ; he covers a glass plate with a coating of wax dissolved in sulphuric acid ; on this he pours pure collodion, which he causes to spread as usual ; he takes the 7 mpression, and then applies the gelatine as before.

It is said that Mr kiimonds comes forward on the Conservative inte rest, asking for the support of that portion of the consti tuency as the future colleague of Mr Fleming. If that programme be the true one, and if it be honestly acted upon, we may venture to predict the return of Mr Fleming and Mr Simonds : for the Conservative interest, if united, can un d o ubtedly return two re p resentative for Winchester in the next parliament.—Hanipshire Advertiser. ANOTHER FEDERAL OUTD.AGE.—W e give in an. other column the narrative of tile arres and impri sonment of Mr Sam uel G. Levey of this city, t while on hi s return from Europe, by the Federal authorities at Boston, as furnished by that active Federal apostle and s}mpathiser t h e Montreal Herald. Our contemporary' s indignant commen ts on this one of a hundred similar cases for which it had not a word of remonstrance is not a little singular, an d suggests the inquiry w hether the indignation in thi s instance does not proceed less from the public sN tong done than private interest in the individual sufferer. Mr Levey has suffered from the vile spy system instituted and pre sided over here by "that late eminent and respectable statesman" Air Giddings. lie had not even been guilty of the crime of giving aid and comfort, to the memies of the UnitedS 3 0 ' sympathising with the South. It is true he is Britisl abject, resident in a British province, but hissymP"i es have always been with the North; but, neverthPle era, the chief of the Federal spies sent forth au edict his punishment, and he has been punished, and will get no redress. Montreal, and every city and con sidehsble town in Canada, swarms with Federal spies, who remark those supposed to be inimical to the Fede ment, or against whom they have any for similar treatment.—Montreal Evening Telegraph a nd Daily C mercial Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STABBING b. CON§TABLE.—John O'Brien, a tall, rough fellow, from the neighbourhood of Drury-lane, was charged before Mr Knox, with being drunk and begging, and also with stabbing Police-constable Wm. Cane. 35 C. Wm. Cane, 35 C, said—This morning about one o'clock I saw the prisoner in St. James's-street, and watched him, and observed him stop two gentlemen and beg of them. The prisoner did not receive anything from the gentlemen, and then walked away and stopped another gentleman, who could not get rid of him. The gentleman seemed very frightened, and said, " Cong.:We, will you get rid of this ruffian ? he has been begging of me, and it is of nightly occurrence." The gentleman said he did not wish to charge the prisoner, but only wanted to get rid of him. I told the prisoner to go away, and as he would not I took him into custody, and he went very quietly till we got into York-street, St. James's, when he became very violent and struck me on the head. We closed together and both tell and while on the ground he kicked. me on the head and tried to bit.; me about the body, making use of frightful ex pressions. I w.ts five minutes before assistance came. Oa getting the prisoner to the statian I felt a pain in my side, and then found that on taking off my coat that I had been stabbed in the side. I afterwards went to St. George's Hospital and had the wound dressed. Prisoner —Did you not strike me ? Cane—Not till you got me down and struck me, Inspector Wilson—l wish for a remand. The prisoner was very violent at the station, and on telling him what ha was charged with he said, " You when I come out I will do for you too." Mr. Knox—l shall remand the prisoner till Saturday and I tun sorry such a thing has occurred. COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FINE.—SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A FEMALE.—AmeIia Bass, a young woman living in Ogle-street, was charged with violently assaulting Bur good Plant, a workman in the employ of Mr Short, wheel wright, Ogle-mews. The complainant said that on the previous afternoon the prisoner and ano her female came into the workshop of his employer and attacked his master and a lad. He went to their assistance, when the prisoner took up a piece of wood, and flung it at him, striking him in the eye, and inlet ing a ghastly wound. Ho had given the prisoner no pro vocation. Mr Short said that about two months ago he gave a man the prisoner lived with into custody for stealing some lead, and ever since then the prisoner and her brother had threatened his wife, and he was fearful they would inflict some injury either to his person or property. Yesterday afternoon they picked a quarrel with his lad, and then came into his workshop and threw all sorts of things at him and his lad—mallets, pieces of wood, and even wheels were taken up by them. He went for a policeman, and on his return found his man had been wounded and taken to the hospital. A lad named Sinclair, in Mr Short's employ, said the prisoner and another female yesterday afternoon threw aome gravel in his face and then a stone, and on his going into his master's shop for protection they threw things at them, and the prisoner threw a piece of wood at Plant. Mr Knox said it was evident there was ill blood because Mr Short had done his duty in prosecuting a man who had robbed him. The prisoner would be committed for two months, and she might think herself fortunate she was not at the Central Criminal Court. The prisoner said, " Oh, I can do that on my head," as she was leaving the dock. MARYLE BONE, A FRACAS WITH VOLUNTEERS.—John Murtha, aged 21, pianoforte maker, was charged with assaulting Sergeant James Tiffin, of the 19th Middlesex Volunteer Corps. Captain Sheen, of the firm of Sheen and Roscoe, solicitors, Bedford-row, appeared to prosecute, and Mr Pain defended. Sergeant Tiffin said he was a commercial traveller and a managing clerk. In company of a brother sergeant and a private of the same corps, he was returning home from battalion drill. He was in the centre of the three and they were walking in the road. They were in uniform and had their rifles with them. As they were on the canal bridge at Camden-town, the prisoner and two of his companions made a lunge towards them. Private Webb seeing this made a rapid move to the front, in consequence of which he (Tiffin) received the full force of the push, and he put his left hand to save himself, He took no notice of what had occurred, when, from some , thing that was said to the prisoner, he followed Tiffin and struck at him with his fist in his face. Prisoner then got his left arm round prosecutor's neck, and with his right hand punched him severely about the head, neck, and shoulders. He was so much punched and knocked about that he could scarcely raise his arm. Mr D'Eyncourt—How often was you struck ? Tiffin—At least 20 times. He managed to get away from the prisoner, when he sprang upon his brother sergeant, and wrested his rifle from him, which, however, was again wrested from him by a civilian. He (Tiffin) went away, when the prisoner again came atter him and attacked him, and how he got away he could not tell, as he was so ex hausted. In reply to the magistrate, witness said he did not either strike or speak to the prisoner. The prisoner and his com n.ni.na r.n azaiust them purposely. The prisoner was not sober. Cross-examined —When prisoner pushed against him I did not raise his rifle to strike him with the butt end. They did not push against the prisoner and his friends. In his opinion they came against them purposely, thinking that they were food for fun. ' Richard Webb, manufacturing jeweller, also a volunteer, corroborated Tiffin's statement, and added, that by the ad vice of the crowd they lett their rifles at an undertakers' and went as far as the Red Cap after the prisoner, and gave him into custody. Weston, 171 S, said he took the prisoner into custody. He and his companions were the worse for drink. one month. The fine was paid, For the defence, Mr Pain called Francis Lynch, pianoforte maker, who said they were coming down the road as the three riflemen were coming up. He would not say that the volunteers pushed against them, but he did not think that they pushed the volun teers. Tiffin put up his rifle to strike a butt end blow, and prisoner rushed upon him to prevent it. After the scrim mage was over they went into the Red Cap, where they had some ale. He did not assist the prisoner, be cause the crowd had closed around them. By Mr D'Eyncourt—When Tiffin's musket was taken from him he ran away, but was followed by the prisoner, who struck him. Neither the prisoner nor himself were as sober as they were now. William Anderson, another pianoforte-maker, was called, and his evidence, in many points, oontra,icted that of the last witness. Mr D'Eyncourt—l am under the impression that the true account of what occurred has been given by the pro secutor. Besides, you were in liquor, so that it is impro. bable that you should be able to recollect much of it. Whether the sight of a rifleman incites you to acts of wan tonness, I don't know, hut I do believe that you lunged against them. Some scan have a disposition to play a jest on this large body. The prosecutor has been very much ill-used by you and your companions, who were all in liquor, and it's you who seems to have been the princil al. One thing is quite clear, that you were not salisfied with defending yourself, but after p rosecutor had gone you fol lowed hint, and again attacked him. You see voluntee r s labour under a very g reat disadvantage, for they .mu keep possession of their rifles under any circumstances, and in whatever way they are attakced, and they are strictly forbidden to use them unless uncles legiti a mate t, ciasrcum r stances. I don't know how it is, but it is fac M Shaen has said, that there is tend o e r no b y to insulteimprisonveodlun ior teers. You must pay a fine of £3, THAMES. THE UNREFORDIED REFORMITORY.—EIIen Hounsell ' aged 1 8 , a se rvant girl, was brought before Mr Partridge' charged with stealing £9 worth of postage-stamps, the pro- perty of Mr Frederick George Kelly, a bookseller and sta tioner, of No. 1, Brunswick-place, Blackwall-cross, Poplar. Mr Stoddart, solicitor, prosecuted ; Mr Marsh, solicitor, defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of Mr Kelly that the pri sor er had been in his service four months as general servant. In the course of that time he had lost among other things or £lO worth of Poßtage• stamps. About two months ago he missed a sheet of postag..-stamps, value £l, from a drawer in his bed-room. That drawer was always kept locked. When he missed the stamps he discovered the lock had been tampered with. On Friday last he missed another sheet of stamps, on the following day he spoke to the pri soner about the loss of the stamps, and she said she had taken one sheet. He afterwards consulted the police, and gave the prisoner into custody. Mr Partridge—How many stamps have you lost ? Mr Kelly—Llo worth in all. lam sure of £9 worth, but I believe £lO is the real extent of my loss. Mr Marsh said the girl owned to one sheet of stamps, and that was all, and he woatd advise her to plead guilty to enable the m agistrate to summarily dispose of the case. Mr Stoddart said it was right he should inform the ma gistrate that the prisoner had been conviche had ted be fo b e en outre, and had been in a r eformatory three years. S of the reformatory nine months, and had been in two situations since, keeping the first only three months. A letter from the prisoner's sister, dwelling at No. 16, Brand street, Blandford-square, was found in the prisoner's box. receipt of a parce l of postage stamps , It ac knowledged the and advised the prisoner to burn th e w hich hid been sold , 'etter, which she had not done. Mr Marsh submitted the letter was not evidence of any- --. _ thing. Dlr Partridge—l only receive this for my guidance, not a s evidence. If the prisoner h as been in custod y before and convicted, I shall nat dispose of the case summarily, Mr Stoddart—lt is a question whether the sister ought not to be charged as a receiver. The following letter was put in by Mr Stoddart. It was from the matron of the Exeter Reformatory, and directed t o the pr i s oner's first mistress : " Girl's Reformatory, Exeter. ii Madaree,—l had your letter yesterday, I believe that E, Hounsell is truthful and honest , very clean in her pe and work. She can both wash anti iron exceedingly well, and is capable of doing house work of any kind if she gives her mind to it. I think she is fond of children. If you engage her I trust she will endeavour to be all you would desire her to be. She is strong and healthy and teachable. —I am, madam, your's truly, "To Mrs. Ross." "E. PROSSER. Robert Marks, a police constable, No. 349 K, said he took the prisoner into custody. She said that about two months ago she took one sheet of postage stamps. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr Partridge com mitted her for trial. THE MURDER AT NORWOOD, [The following appeared in our Late Edition of last evening:—] LAMBETH POLICE COURT-(THIS DAY.) EXAmINATIoN OF THE PRISONERS, This afternoon at four o'clock the two labouring men named Edward Turner and Doha William Clarke, brick makers, apprehended on suspicion of being concerned in the death of Louisa Dyer, whose body was found in a hay field near the Anerley station, Penge-common, on Thurs day morning last. were placed at the bar. Joseph Dunlop, inepectcr of the F division, sail on Thursday he was informed that the dead body of a female had been found in the fields near Penge, and placed in a stable at the Robin Hood public-house. I3e proceeded there and found the body, which bore marks of violence upon it. He communicated with the coroner, and he after wards apprehended Clarke on suspicion. He told the man. he was a police officer, and that he could answer his ques tions or not, as he pleased, but that which he said might be used in evidence. He_ asked him if he had heard of the body of the woman being found, in the hay field at Penge, and he replied " Yes, I have heard of it." He said he was with the woman on Tuesday last, but that he had left her at the canal bridge about 7 or half-past. Ile denied having been to the Robin Hood public-house, but said, when he left her, she went on with led. He thea took him into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the death of the woman, who was known about Penge as a hawker. She was of drunken and dissi pated habits. He had examined the clothes of Clarke, but found no marks or spots of blood on them. Sergeant Thomas, of the A division, said he apprehended Turner at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Penge. He told him he was an officer of police, and in reply to questions prisoner said he had just come from home. He said he went away in consequence of a policeman speaking to him, in the brickfield about the murder, and being chaffed by his mates. He was aware of the finding of the body of 'Jae murdered woman, and said he, in company with Clarke, was with her on the 14th. He said he left them at the canal bridge a quarter before nine. He wished Clarke good night, and then went on with the woman as far as the Maple•road and left her. He denied going with the woman and Clarke to the Robin Hood. He got back to his led gings about ten o'clock. He denied seeing Clarke after he had left him at nine o'clock on Tuesday. Mr C. Wood, surgeon, at Penge, said last Thursday morning he was called to the Robin Hood, and in the stable he saw the dead body of a woman. There were marks of violence apparent. She died from suffocation. The appear ances indicated that she had been forcibly held down. There not being any marks on the trachea would be ac counted for by the throat of the deceased being grasped by the hand ; but even had there been pressure it would not of necessity leave any visible mark internally or externally. Police-constable 276 and another witness proved finding the body After some further examination the prisoners were re manded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING.

The bridegroom—whose father is a mem ber of the corporation—was engaged shortly before the wedding in packing up his trunks, and preparing for the continental tour which he had arranged to take with his young wife, when his left arm suddenly snapped near the elbow. The con sternation which this untoward accident occasioned among his own family and friends, who were preparing to attend the ceremony, may be well imagined ' • an d when the sad intelli g e n ce was communicated to the parents of the bride the carriages were in waiting to convey the bridal party to the church. It was of course concluded that the ceremony must be postponed, but the bridegroom would not listen to the proposal, and the joint having been set by two medical men, he gallantly insisted upon fulfill ing his engagement, and actually arrived at St. Dunstan's Church within a few minutes of the appointed hour. The ceremony was conducted in a very impressive manner .by the Rev. Mr Auriol, the rector, who subsequentle joined the numerous guests assembled at the suburban residence of the bride's father (one of his own churchwardens), and alluded to the misfortune of the morning in terms of kindly sympathy and encouragement. The uncle of the bride i endeavoured to dispel the inevitable gloom by observing that the calamity had at least one consoling feature, for it gave them a practical example of the courage and devotion of the young gentleman who was the hero of the occasion. They had heard of a certain champion of quite another sort of "ring," who had fought his American rival for one hour with a single arw, owing to a similar accident, and still car ried the day ; but what was this to compare with the pluck of his young friend, who having broken his arm at 9 a.m., went up smiling to the altar at 11, and carried off his young and charming wife in triumph ? We believe the bride, who was not at first informed of the. full ex tent of the accident, exhibited a becoming fortitude under the trying circumstances of the day, and our readers will be glad to learn that owing to the . i satisfactory the mangnsteen, pro gress of the husband, the wedding trip is not likely to be long deferred. the mango, molting in the mouth, and, THE SIAMESE DURIAL—The fruit here is ex, q the ui s pine ' . what is superior to anything I ever , imagined or tasted, the famous "durian" or ". dourion, which . justly merits the a pe po r e t , i s c o ul f a ra r g ly ran. th t title of king of fruits. But to enjoy it thoroughly one roust have time to overcome the disgust at first inspired by its smell, which is so strong that I could not stay in the we e place with it. On first tasting it I thought it like the flesh of some animal in a stets of putrefaction, b u t after four or five trials I found the aroma exquisite. The durian is about two-thirds the size of a jams, and like it . is encased in a thick and prickly rind, which pro tects it from the teeth of squirrels and other nibblers ; on opening it there are to be found ten cells, each containing a kernel larger than a date, and surrounded by a sort of white, or sometimes yellowish cream which is most delicious. By an odd freak of nnture, xpt only is there the first repug ' nance to it to overcome, but if you eat it often, though with ever so great moderation, you find youself next day covered with blotches, as if attacked with measles, so heating is its nature, A durian picked is never good, for when fully ripe it falls of itself ; when cut open it must be eaten at once, as it quickly spoils but oth erwise it will keep for three days. —lllouho.t's Travels in Indo-China: 1 Ultlll, June 18.-1 0 the Chamber of Deptities the first articles of the bill on disputed administra tive affairs were voted.
